Based on the latest Intel Xeon processor platform, the FWA-6520L system belongs family with one socket platform to FWA-6520 which is a straight upgrade from Advantech’s leading FWA-6510 dual socket platform. The FWA-6520L has been designed for maximum performance, scalability and functionality in a 2U rack mount footprint. This multi-core processor-based, high-end network communications appliance is optimized for computing power and high speed, high density I/O with best-in-class energy efficiency.

One Intel Xeon E5-2600/E5-1660 v3/v4 processors (Socket R3) provide the latest architectural enhancements, larger on chip cache memories and supports 4 DDR4 channels with speed up to 2400 MHz and capacity up to 256GB by 8 RDIMM with 32GB memory module. Advanced thermal system design enables support for processors with 145W TDP. This allows the appliance to scale from mainstream 4 and 14 core CPUs to the highest performance 18 core processors available today.

With 40 PCIe Express lanes, the FWA-6520 can support 4 Network Mezzanine Cards (NMCs) with one PCIE x 8 slot reserved for modular, configurable networking I/O and acceleration,
. PCIe gen3 technology on all NMC slots provides sufficient bandwidth to support multiple 40GbE and quad 10GbE modules.

Advanced Lights Out Management based on Aspeed’s latest BMC AST2400 and AMI’s MegaRAC IPMI suite improves system manageability and reliability, providing platform thermal management, H/W monitoring and supervision. Remote firmware upgrade capability and hardware-based BIOS redundancy make the FWA-6520L an ideal platform for mission-critical and highly available networks.

Management I/O includes two management Ethernet ports, a console port, two USB ports, a LCD module, one Power LED and one HDD LED LEDs. The standard system is CCC and RoHS compliant. FCC, UL and CB, will be supported by projects.
